Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to compare ischemic preconditioning (IPC) with two established methods of myocardial protection, namely cold crystalloid cardioplegia and intermittent cross-clamp fibrillation (ICCF), in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This was a prospective randomised study Thirty CABG patients were randomised to receive: (a) St Thomas' cardioplegia solution no. 2; (b) ICCF; or (c) IPC (two 3-min periods of ischemia with 2-min of reperfusion). Surgery was performed under standardised conditions by one surgeon (WBP). The Primary endpoint was cardiac troponin T release during the first 72 h after surgery. Mean troponin T at 72 h was significantly lower in the IPC group (0.5 μg/l; p=0.05. ANOVA) compared with the cardioplegia and ICCF groups (2.1 and 1.3 μg/l respectively). This suggests that ischemic preconditioning is superior at limiting myocardial necrosis during CABG, but there is no difference between cold crystalloid cardioplegia and intermittent cross-clamp fibrillation.
